EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
The applicant was discharged for Misconduct due to commission of a serious offense in 2013. The applicant's 
complete Personnel Data Record and Separation Package were available for the Board to review.
In the Fall of 2011, the applicant was counseled on having an inappropriate relationship with a subordinate 
who was also married. The applicant was also recently married to another Petty officer at the same command 
and they had a young child together. In late 2012, the applicant allegedly forced themselves into the residence 
of the subordinate and pointed a gun at the subordinate's legally-separated spouse who was holding what was 
discovered as a child resulting from the prohibited and inappropriate relationship. The police were contacted 
during these events and the applicant was subsequently arrested at a separate location after departing the  
subordinate's residence.
Thereafter, the command moved on to start separation proceedings in the Spring of 2013 after the 
applicant received NJP two months prior. The applicant was notified of the intent to discharge, and the 
applicant was advised of the rights to an attorney. The applicant made a statement and objected to 
discharge.
No new evidence was provided to refute the offenses that led to the discharge. The Board does note that a
General Discharge was issued in Block 24 of the applicant's DD-214. Per previous policy issued in 
ALCOAST 562/08, a General discharge is no longer considered an official character of service. Therefore, the 
board recommends a partial upgrade to an Under Honorable Conditions character of service.
Propriety:	Discharge was proper.
Equity:	Discharge was equitable.
Final Adjudication by Assistant Commandant For Human Resources: Partial relief is granted to the 
applicant's Character of Service to Under Honorable Conditions based on ALCOAST 562/08. All other 
items stand as issued.
